The Birth of The Super Home

Over the last 20 years we have seen a huge increase in the number of multimillionaires and an increase in the billionaires. Mainly pushed forward by the massive growth in wealth from countries such as China, Russia,  India, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar and parts of SE Asia.

Endemic with this new found wealth is greater spending and a huge increase in those who can afford the high end super luxury products available in the market place.  Luxury brands have definitely done well and as other western nations perhaps during recessionary times, tightened their belts, the new emerging economies spent more.

Many of the big names in luxury cars and luxury yachts now find new markets in these every growing economies. To be rich in China, Russia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Thailand and India also means to have the money to buy the likes of Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Mercedes and Porsche. These and many more the symbols of success and the accoutrements of having money.

Next came the luxury yachts and this growing market has seen increased numbers looking for the next success symbol. With the amazing waters, beaches and islands in these parts of the world, to own a private yacht or super yacht is the next big thing. In the case of Russia, then it's to own one in Monaco, South of France, Thailand and other tropical places around the world.

The likes of Sheikh Khalifabin Zayed Al Nahyan, Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Andrey Melnichenko, Yuri Scheffler, Roman Amramovich, Prince Khaled bin Sultan bin Abdul Azziz, Emir of Abu Dhabi, Prince Al Waleed bin Talal all have their super yachts. Yet these are only a few and there are many celebrities, rock stars and business people too.

But until recently there was no super home. We had all heard of super yachts and we have all heard of mansions, palaces, castles and large luxury homes. However until the emergence of a small but highly imaginative designer came onto the scene, there was no mention of super homes. The term originated when Chris Asetti, the renowned luxury house designer, burst onto the scene with his spectacular 'Utopia', otherwise fondly referred to as The James Bond house.  It broke all the rules, created the Super home and singly handedly set the bar to galactic levels, for all future billionaire homes.

If you got the super yacht how can you not have a Chris Asetti Super Home. They go hand in hand with each other. At the time he had no idea the significance, but it soon came to light, Chris Asetti had created The Super Home. The perfect luxury house for a billionaire. And what was more interesting and surprising was there was nothing to touch it for sheer imaginative style, uniqueness and sheer out of the box "wow factor".

Yes for sure there were big, amazing houses before and some awesome luxury villas. But until Asetti's 'Utopia' was showcased, there was no super home. It was different. It was new. It was fresh. A combination of styles and ideas that blew everything else out of the water.

Since then Asetti have launched their gold collection of luxury homes and super homes. All the perfect place for a multimillionaire or billionaire to call home. The addition to the super yacht. You want that James Bond lifestyle, then Chris Asetti is the guy to provide it.

Singapore Marriott Hotel - 5 star luxury hotel in the middle of Orchard Road

Holiday in Singapore is never complete without a visit to city's shopping disrict, Orchard Road. Indeed, Singapore holiday can be best enjoyed if you stay in Orchard Road. The road and surrounding area is one of the most upscale areas in Singapore and offers many beautiful hotels.

Singapore Marriott Hotel at the junction between Orchard Road and Scotts Road is probably the best located hotel in Orchard Road. The location is almost in the middle of Orchard Road and right next to Orchard Road MRT Station (you can actually go into hotel directly from MRT link) so it is very accessible. The location is not only for shoppers, it is also very good place for business travelers : Orchard Road MRT Station is just 2 stations away from Singapore's Central Business District's Raffles Place MRT Station.

We have stayed here in 2009 and again much later in early 2014. The experience is quite different : Singapore Marriot Hotel was renovated in 2012 and it is now more modern and luxury. The large, comfortable beds, clean and luxurious bathroom and the great view from the rooms (choose a high floor room looking towards the Orchard Road) makes it a special stay.

Marriott is one of the largest hospitality companies in the world. If you would like to take a look at new discounts, voucher codes and deals, you can take a look at http://www.newvoucher.co.uk/retailer-1782-marriott-international-uk-ireland.

Iconic Singapore Marriot Hotel is right in the  middle of Orchard Road and makes it very convenient to move
around in Singapore even under heavy rain.

When we are in there, we had a chance to visit major Singapore attractions : Sentosa Island, Singapore Zoo, Singapore Bird Park and Singapore Night Safari. The hotel's location is very near to the service buses for these attractions so you do not need taxi or MRT. The food in the restaurants are good (breakfast is very good) but if you need suggestions about what to eat, skip Orchard Road and just walk to FarEast-Plaza on Scotts Road. This old and not so bright looking mall has very good restaurants on the higher floors and is a popular place for locals. 313@Somerset food court was also quite nice. We did not like the food courts in Ion Orchard and Ngee Ann City but the restaurants in these two malls are quite upscale and nice.

Singapore Marriot Hotel is neighbour to a building named Shaw House which has a 3D IMAX movie theater. Try to catch a movie there. We also liked the upper floors of Paragon Shopping Mall nearby which had a nice indoor playground for kids and a lot of kid oriented shopping opportunities.

Oasia Hotel Singapore in Novena offers a prime location, the luxury of convenience and accessibility to a host of entertainment and culinary options, all in the centre of bustling cosmopolitan Singapore. Bounded by commercial buildings and shopping malls, this luxurious hotel looks like a tall office building at first glance. It has direct access to Novena MRT Station which is only 2 stations away from Orchard Road MRT Station and 5 stations away from Singapore's Central Business District (Raffles Place MRT Station).

Adam and Kelly from Asiarooms stays in and reviews Oasia Club room which is designed for business travelers. The room is quite small equipped with a standard bathroom full of typical amenities and a typical shower. An inbuilt speaker system allows you to listen to music or news when you are getting ready for work.

The room is quite compact. The most important feature of the room for business travelers, the work desk, is plain but functional. There is an HDMI output and USB connecting to your flat TV.

The beds are small but still in the OK category. The room has a large safe in which you can put your laptop. The safe even has a power-plug inside where you can charge your laptop while it is in the safe.

Although the room is compact, a typical feature of a Singapore hotel, it has everything a business traveler needs like WI-FI access. And the location is just perfect for business travelers with easy access to Singapore CBD.

Hotelscombined.com, a very popular hotel meta-search engine, has revealed 33 stand-out hotels across the Asia-Pacific region  which have made the cut in its inaugural ‘Stellar Stays’ list for 2013. ‘Stellar Stays’ is not a ranking list but a group of outstanding hotels judged on a strict set of criteria. All currently rate 9.0 and over with a minimum of 250 customer reviews on the HotelsCombined site, have a significant community or environmental program, and have received at least three major industry awards in the past year. Hotel reviews on HotelsCombined are aggregated from over 27 million reviews from multiple travel and review sites. Hotels are ranked out of a potential score of 10 – making a score of 9.0 or higher quite a feat.

Kristen McKenzie, Head of PR and Community at HotelsCombined, said, “Judged on detailed criteria, the result is an independent selection of properties that are truly extraordinary on a variety of levels. Not only do these hotels boast a high satisfaction rating amongst both guests and travel industry experts, but they also strive to make a positive difference with dedicated environmental and community initiatives. Conscientious tourism is a subject we take very seriously at HotelsCombined as evidenced by our Green Hotels and Responsible Tourism Initiative.

Grand Park Orchard Hotel Singapore Review

There are two things you should consider before deciding Where To Stay In Singapore. First, find out what area is right for you according to your visiting goals and then choose the type of accommodation matching your budget and taste.

If you are in Singapore mainly for shopping and like to stay in a central and 5-Star hotel, a luxurious hotel on Orchard Road among Singapore shopping malls is where you should stay in Singapore. And here we will review Grand Park Orchard Hotel Singapore.

Hotel's facade is quite hidden. It is hard to notice but just behind the fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch, right in the heart of Orchard Road and behind a herringbone design exterior glass façade & show-stopping media wall, there is a chich 5-Star hotel named Grand Park Orchard Hotel Singapore.

The hotel is chic and the chic designer interior breaths a new air into your perception starting from the lobby. The same aura will only increase when you get into one of the 308 luxurious rooms and suites the hotel offers.

Park Suite room is ideal for families or those who will have guests when they stay in the hotel. There is a separate living room with quite a space and a 40'' Flat TV where you can host your guests. These rooms also come with a workstation which gives you a PC, fax and a printer.

Grand Park Orchard Hotel

Yes, this is a 5-Star Orchard Road hotel so everything is up to top. You want coffee, you can use the Nespresso machine in the room! The beds are king size, the large marble clad bathroom comes with 2 sinks (so you do not need to queue for the sink), a  bath tube and a glass covered shower.

The location of the hotel is great. It is right next to Paragon Shopping Mall and just on the Orchard Road. Major shopping malls like Paragon, ION Orchard, Ngee Ann City (with its large tenant Takashimaya Department Store), 313 @ Somerset, The Center Point, etc. are all within walking distance. Wait for the late afternoon to walk through Orchard Road.

After all those walking and shopping in hot and humid Singapore, you will need a pool. And Grand Park Orchard Hotel Singapore has "THE" pool.

Grand Park Orchard Hotel Singapore is an Agoda Preffered Hotel which means the hotel consistently offers lowest possible rates, high service standards and consistently scores high ratings from Agoda.com customers.
